Current W&M freshman taking questions

<p>S3 is still going back and forth between WM and VTech, most likely with a business major but of course that can change ‘on a dime.’ </p>

<p>We (parents) think that the benefits of WM outweigh those of VT on many levels. However, his major contention is that going to VT will provide him with more of a ‘well rounded’ college experience, given the huge ‘Hokie’ following, in terms of the quality of athletics, school spirit, things to do on and off campus, etc. On the same token he recognizes the outstanding academic experience he will have at WM (but does worry about ‘grade deflation’ and its effect on his ultimate GPA as he applies to grad/professional schools, depending on the direction he takes major-wise). </p>

<p>What would you say to him regarding his final decision? It is ultimately HIS decision, but we want him to make as informed a decision as possible, and we don’t want him to look back and say, ‘If only…’</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
